I Wonder If He Misses Me Like I Miss Him

He's dead. But I just wonder why he never loved me or cared about me. I know the reasons why but I just can't wrap my head around as to why those are the reasons. Why I meant nothing to him. But, I'm glad that there are girls younger than me who don't have to experience that deep, open, pain. That they have a dad to be there for them. -sigh- As I think about it, I blocked a lot of memories of me w/ him. I remember the big ones but, if I stop and think back on what memories I suppressed when I was having fun with my dad. It hurts too much to think about. It is what it is. Nothing can change that. Its what it is. -sigh- it has effected me, I'm not gonna lie. But, it makes me happy to see other girls not go through this. I didn't turn into a rebellious, needing male attention women. I just remember the hurt and keep it locked away. And move on with my life. But I will never forget what he did.



But the experience never made me or changed me into someone I didn't want to be. I chose to be the woman I am today. And I strived to it.

Hi princess..

Unfortunately, your father NOT being around alive on this earth as you say, that does make it super difficult for you (or anyone else) to have closure with someone that is not around anymore. Especially about something that is so close to your beautiful heart. Otherwise, you'd had him around to ask him to explain to you what exactly "his" issues were which held him back from being loving and caring towards you!

Regardless, as you say..it is what it is now that he is gone.

All you can do princess, is to continue on being the strongest young lady that you can be! Make efforts to NOT take issue too too much with the lack of closeness, lack of nurturing, that he didn't have with you. That he should have had with you or done, as most "normal" fathers have with their daughters.

Most likely he himself didn't even know any better, as to how best to be...which is a "normal" loving, nurturing, caring, emphatic, daddy!

It is extremely difficult to opiniate correctly when one does NOT know the person. You would be on a way better position, more so than anyone else, to decipher the best possible "reasons" as to "the why" he was as he was with you! Like not demonstrate any love and caring, or even a reasonable amount towards you, as you have stated.


Me personally, as the father to a beautiful teenage daughter, I tend to strongly believe that he did cared and loved you deep inside him! Many men lack the capacity to set their unhealthy "egos" aside so that they can freely become transparent with their emotions towards their beautiful children. Many men in some instances have difficulty showing any level of love, care, towards others, who should be made to feel very close to them, by them showing them all the affection that they can master to show in acceptable ways!! Most fathers like that have reasons that they themselves only know. But in many cases..they don't even know it themselves as to why they are the way they ARE...cold, emotionless...towards their offspring!

It's complicated babe! Hang in there young lady! Seems as you have managed very bravely and wisely to mature and become the confident and self reliant young lady that you say you've managed to be, now, to this day! Without feeling a "need" to fill a void caused by that cold, emotionless experience.,on the part of "father"!

It makes me feel super happy for you to read that you do NOT have any "daddy issues"! As many young ladies have who go through similar experiences from their fathers, when young, as they are growing up. Which is so so extremely sad!!! As they get older, they fail to find closure from that. And stay hurt emotionally because of that and then as young ladies, they feel that "need"! The NEED to fill that empty void in their heart. By looking, searching for a "daddy love" relationship. Which that only makes them more vulnerable to continue being hurt emotionally. To be used and taken advantage of by many men out there who are also super selfish and heartless! I personally would NOT look nothing kindly to any man who would hurt my daughter emotionally in any way possible! I would Taekwondo that dude's butt in less than a fraction of a split second! As any "normal" loving father would! Believe me darling...I will!!!
